 * Is there an option to get notified when there is a connection issue with a site
   in the dashboard? Or could the “If Wordfence is deactivated.” serve the same 
   purpose?

 * Hi [@nfspck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nfspck/), thanks for your question!
 * We recently had a similar request around alerts for failed scans, as connectivity
   issues can cause these too. A customer had many sites to manage and failing scans
   had been missed for a number of months with one site.
 * The reason we hadn’t previously alerted for these is down to sites _without_ 
   persistent scan/connectivity problems could experience temporary failures if 
   a host restarts the server, or another one-off issue occurs. In these cases, 
   we’d rather not alert customers to start looking for a problem that wouldn’t 
   often reoccur.
 * We will be revisiting certain alerts and plugin notifications, so if we find 
   a reliable way to report connectivity issues that require attention, it could
   be considered too. I have made the development team aware of your additional 
   request but ongoing status updates aren’t possible here on the forums.
 * Many thanks,
   Peter.
